In 2 Samuel 13 and 14 the results of David’s sin continue. His son Amnon rapes his daughter Tamar, Absalom’s sister. She is disgraced and lives in Absalom’s house the rest of her life. David doesn’t punish Amnon for his crime. Later Absalom kills Amnon and flees. A few years later Joab sends a woman to plead to David for Absalom. David allows Absalom to come home but does not want to see him. It was two more year before David would see Absalom and forgive him of his crime.

David is now making more and more bad decisions. He is setting himself up for trouble.

In 1 Corinthians 6 Paul admonishes the Corinthians for bringing lawsuits against one another. He brings up two points: 1) if a believer has a problem with another believer the issue should be brought up within the church for judgment; 2) we should be willing to be wronged.

Paul then speaks to the fact that they are committing these sins. He reminds them that they have been sanctified, therefore they should not continue to sin. He is particularly dismayed at sexual sin because it is perpetrated on one’s own body. Our bodies are meant for the Lord and so when we commit sexual sin we are sinning against the Lord. He encourages us to glorify God in our bodies.
